Applied Naval Architecture 2008 Use the principles of force equilibrium to explain how a ship can float on water surface with a list angle. What is the loadline marks? What is the significance of a ship carrying the loadline marks? What is the reserved buoyancy? How does a ship ensure to keep her reserved buoyancy? What are the main principle dimensions and form coefficients of a ship? How do you understand the ship performances relating to the ratios of principle dimensions. Discuss the geometrical form and characteristics of the hull of solid bulk carrier, oil tanker and container ship. We often meet the words “deadweight” and “tonnage”, discuss the respective significance and usage of the two words. How do you understand the functions of the center of gravity, the center of buoyancy, Metacenter and the center of floatation? Discuss the change of floating condition after a weight addition onto or removal from a ship. Discuss the significance of the transverse metacentric height GM in hydrostatics. Discuss the significance and usage of every curve in the hydrostatic diagram. What is the difference between the initial stability and large angle stability? Which factors will effect on the GM of a ship? And discuss how the factors affect the GM. What is the dynamic stability? What is the static stability? In which cases the dynamic stability or static stability will be applicable respectively? What is your understanding to the IMO’s stability criteria? The aim, principle and procedure of the inclining experiment. In this section, we pay our great attention to SOLAS’74 convention, what is the key points of “chapter II-1construction: subdivision and stability in SOLAS’74 convention”? What is the significance to the margin line of a damaged ship? What is the one-compartment ship? Discuss the one-compartment requirement applicable to a bulk carrier.  What is the definition of hull strength? Discuss the bending moment and shear force resulting from in the h
